As the two conversed, thinking their voices were too low to be heard, Mei Shu was fully aware of every word. The loneliness in her eyes became even more apparent.

Mei Yan watched as his sister’s hand paused for quite a while without writing another word. He pushed the fruit towards her with some concern. “Sister, 1 just tasted these grapes; they’re very sweet. Have one, sister.”

“Okay.” Mei Shu tugged at the corner of her mouth, forcing a smile, and ate a grape as suggested. However, it was sour, causing her eyebrows to furrow.

Mei Yan quickly extended his hand to her mouth. “If it doesn’t taste good, don’t eat it. Spit it out, sister.”

Mei Shu smiled and directly swallowed the grape. “It’s okay, just a grape.”

Mei Yan still had some lingering worries. Seeing the two older brothers return, he desperately signaled them with his eyes. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Throughout the afternoon, Lu Si didn’t call.

The boys from the Mei family had been accompanying Mei Shu all the time, not giving her a chance to be alone and sad.

By evening, her emotions had stabilized, and she began to accept the situation with a more open mind.

Whether Lu Si and Shen Yuan were really going to marry or not, she no longer cared.

It was just a man.

She still had four adorable younger brothers to take care of, not to mention the college entrance exams were coming up soon. She shouldn’t have been in a relationship at this time.

After realizing this, Mei Shu’s mood became more comfortable. She blocked all of Lu Si’s contacts in her phone, treating the sweetness he had given her as a dream.

She didn’t want to be sad for a man anymore; it would make her feel like she had wasted the opportunity of a second life.

Life passed peacefully for two days.

After school the next day, Wen Miao leaned on the window, making ambiguous gestures for Mei Shu to come over.

Mei Shu, sensing something, followed the direction of her finger and saw Lu Si’s very conspicuous car parked brazenly at the school gate.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously frowned. “Miaomiao, I’m leaving first.”

“Okay, okay.” Wen Miao, unaware of the news, thought Mei Shu was in a hurry to meet Lu Si and didn’t stop her. She immediately waved and bid her farewell.

After Mei Shu went downstairs, she called the driver and asked him to pick her up at the back gate of the school.

Since Lu Si was blocking her in front, she could just avoid him, right?

Anyway, he already had a fiancee, so he probably wouldn’t bother her for long.

“Master Si, the old master called again.” Jiang He turned around to look at Lu Si in the back seat, nervously handing over the phone.

“Don’t answer.” Lu Si, feeling irritated, opened the car window to get some air. The crowd of students leaving school was almost gone, but he still didn’t see Mei Shu’s figure. “Forget it, give it to me.”

Jiang He handed it over hastily.

Lu Si pressed the answer button directly.

The kind voice of the old master came from the other end, “Ah Si, are you with Yuanyuan now?”

“No, Grandpa.” Lu Si rubbed his temple wearily.

Mei Shu had deliberately avoided him for two days. He didn’t have the energy to care about Shen Yuan at the moment.

Grandpa didn’t get angry; instead, he laughed kindly. “This weekend, bring Yuanyuan back to Beijing. I also want to discuss the engagement with Yuanyuan.”

Lu Si denied flatly, “Grandpa, 1 have plans this weekend and can’t go back.”

“Oh, now that the company is developing smoothly, what plans could you have? Even if there are places you need to attend, let Jiang He go. 1 don’t care; this weekend, you must bring my daughter-in-law back for me to have a good look!” Grandpa said and sighed, expressing some emotion. “Now even Yan has found a girl he likes. I’ve seen the picture of that girl called Mei Shu; she’s a beautiful girl and suits Yan. Why aren’t you, as his uncle, in a hurry?”

Lu Si felt a lump in his throat, and his Adam’s apple rolled up and down. He was so angry that he almost blurted out the fact that Mei Shu was actually his girlfriend.

But he managed to maintain his composure. “Grandpa, let’s talk about this weekend another time. 1 have a meeting here. 1’11 hang up first.”

“Hey, you little brat!”

Before Grandpa could finish scolding, Lu Si had already hung up the phone.

Jiang He could see that the mood of their young master was very bad. He took the phone and tentatively said, “This weekend is Miss Mei’s coming-of-age ceremony. Should we attend with a gift?”

“Of course, we should go.” Lu Si’s eyes were full of determination. “1 don’t believe that she can avoid me the whole time at the scene!”

Jiang He was almost crying and laughing. “Master Si, but Miss Mei hasn’t sent us an invitation. We don’t even know where she’s holding the ceremony.”

Originally, Mei Shu’s coming-of-age ceremony was planned by Lu Si. Now it seemed that Mei Shu would definitely not cooperate with them.

In this way, they would be in a passive position.

Lu Si rubbed the center of his eyebrows and said, “Didn’t the other families who are on good terms with the Mei family receive it too?”

Jiang He shook his head and said, “No.”

With that, he thought of something and said tentatively, “Actually, we can ask Young Master Lu Yan. I think he should know.”

With this, Lu Si’s body instantly became tense with vigilance..
